Malware/Browser Hijack

[iamsam]

I'm working on a PC for a friend (no really).

Windows XP SP 3

Clicks on Google searches get redirected to other search sites and the Spybot executable doesn't run unless I rename it - even in safe mode. I have AVG Free installed but the control panel won't let me uninstall it. I'm guessing that something is killing the uninstall process just like when SpyBot is started.

I have run several AVG and Spybot scans as well as Malware-bytes Anti-Malware and removed some of the worst offenders.

I can produce new HijackThis, DDS, GMER, etc. logs as needed.

Thanks for your help.

Hello iamsam,

In case you missed it please see the FAQ which includes guidelines for this forum and also instructions on posting preliminary DDS logs in post #2.
"BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance)

Then start a new topic and a volunteer analyst will advise you when available.

Best regards.
